About Heart Rate Monitors

A heart rate monitor gives you an accurate measurement of how hard your body is working. This allows you to adjust how hard you exercise and achieve your fitness goals, it can also let you know if you should not train as you may need more recovery time. All models will display a basic 'rev counter' indicating your current heart rate in beats per minute. More complex HRM's add simultaneous displays of how hard you are working as a percentage of your maximum rate or how long you've managed to maintain your heart rate inside pre-set target zones. This is a great feature for targeting specific training zones, these are often reffered to as the following: The Energy Efficient or Recovery Zone which is 60% to 70%, The Aerobic Zone - 70% to 80%, The Anaerobic Zone - 80% to 90%, The Anaerobic Zone - 80% to 90% of your maximum heart rate. Each zone has a specific benefit and a HRM will help you to stay within these zones and achieve those benefits. The ability to download data directly to a PC for later analysis is also a nice feature if you're following a long-term fitness program, this can also show what's working well for you.

Comfortable
Much better and comfortable then the old " hard" strap.
Don´t feel it round my chest when I´m running, I like!

Functions Perfectly!
Fits snug, easily adjustable, and most importantly it works perfectly with no drop outs or wild and crazy readings.
A little pricey though for just a HR strap (but compared to the performance of other HR monitors/straps, well worth the extra cost)

very comfortable
I saw a few reviews mentioning spiky heart rates with this monitor. so far I've not seen this so far. I've been out on 4-5 hour rides and the data appears good - I have been wearing ultrafine merino base layers so maybe this helps with the static.
Very comfortable and stays in position well.

Good upgrade
Good replacement strap. Easily synched with my 305 once I found the right screen. Very comfortable and no transmission problems so far. Due to the soft electrodes you can't stick in the washing machine and have to handwash it. Overall recommended.

Yes I use it with my 705 but you do have to re-link and then it doesn't pick up the original belt so it seems that the codes or whatever are different but to be honest once you've used the new one I would never go back to the original as this is so much better
